Sydney changed her name
Since making headlines for her outburst and arrest, Sydney has gone out of her way to avoid the press, even changing her name. According to a 2014 Georgia Newsday report, she was waiting tables at a restaurant where her brother worked and going by the name Portia.
Despite her efforts to remain anonymous, reporters track her down leaving her home in St. Petersburg, Fla. after The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story aired. She reportedly refused to answer questions about the show, in which she’s portrayed by actress Asia Monet Ray.
Sydney works in real estate
Sydney is the eldest of the two children O.J. had with Nicole, though she was still just a child when her mother was murdered. The 8-year-old was reportedly asleep in bed when the stabbings took place. According to Radar Online, Sydney was bullied by kids taunting her about her dad murdering her mom. As soon as she was old enough, she reportedly left Los Angeles behind, earning a sociology degree from Boston University in 2010.
According to the Tampa Bay Times, Sydney has forged a low-key life for herself on Florida’s Gulf Coast, where she’s made a number of smart property investments under the name of her own company, Simpsy, LLC.
Justin works in real estate too
Justin is the only Simpson child who seems to have lived a relatively conflict-free life. Like his siblings, he looked to the Florida area for a fresh start and landed a job as a realtor in St. Petersburg. “It’s a great place to live, why not St. Pete?” he told the Tampa Bay Times. “It’s gorgeous here.”
According to his profile on residential real estate website Coldwell Banker, “Having spent years in multi-family renovation and income properties, Justin has turned focus to helping others succeed as he has. Having a family immersed in hospitality, Justin sets himself apart by dominating customer service and his communication/negotiation skills give his clients the competitive edge.” Justin also advertises his services via his Twitter page, where his work ethic shines through. “There is no elevator to success,” he tweeted, “you HAVE to take the stairs.”
